Hi. My dear friend has recently been diagnosed with Motor Neuron Disease. Right away she went into denial which I see as completely normal with such a devastating diagnosis. I am somewhat knowledgable on the disease. Her's started in her lower extremeties. She began falling last spring/summer. It's now in her upper area and her speech is slowed. She also has a persistant cough that is quite concerning she's had that for about 6 weeks. It's been 2 months now and she has not made her appointment to see the specialist. I am concerned about her. How she is getting through all her daily routines. The idea of her driving scares to death. Can anyone out there shed some light on how to communicate your concerns with your loved one.
Thanks
Trish
